Waconia Runs at State Cross Country Meet

Two local high school students compete in the 2013 MSHSL state cross country meet. There were also four other schools that participated in the race. Waconia racers, senior Lexi Willems and sophomore Alex Carrabre did great last weekend.

Keeping up with their average times, they two represented Waconia in the best way. Fans and family were there at St. Olaf College to cheer for the runners. After finishing 93rd out of 174 other individuals, Willems ended with a 15:35.5 time! Close behind, Carrabre at 118th position.

Both competitors did well overall, and getting to state is most of the battle. Waconia is proud to have such excellent students representing the city at a statewide competition.
